The film is slated to start production next year and Webb said of Zegler’s casting, “Rachel’s extraordinary vocal abilities are just the beginning of her gifts. Her strength, intelligence and optimism will become an integral part of rediscovering the joy in this classic Disney fairytale.”
As DEADLINE reminds us, the animated version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was based on a Brother’s Grimm fairytale and was first released back in 1938. It holds the title of Walt Disney’s first featuring length film.
We’re told that the upcoming adaptation will feature an expanded storyline as well as new musical numbers by Ben Pasek and Justin Paul who are well known for their work on La La Land, The Greatest Showman and Dear Evan Hansen.
We can’t wait to see how this film develops. Readers are encouraged to keep following along with us for further news and updates. Oh and congratulations Rachel!
